"Cloud needs to follow standard IT best practices, and end-users need to implement appropriate plans for their business. Service providers are showing great signs that they understand this as well, as we are seeing more innovation and options for the end-user to better use the cloud.

This will translate into more distribution of the service provider platforms, which will yield more service delivery zones, and more networking capabilities for end-users to access and integrate them. This will ultimately allow businesses to better plan for failure, recover faster, and ultimately have better control over their SLAs.

When we are not prepared for failure, there’s frequently some level of chaos. Whether that’s figuring out how to contain and correct the failure, or figuring our how to move your workloads and data from one service delivery zone to another or to perhaps to another cloud service provider. All at the same time everyone else is trying to do it. Planning for failure includes avoiding the chaos and having clear expectations that are based on planning and the implementation of best practices."

Cloud Computing & All That
It Touches In One Location Cloud Computing - Big Data - Internet of Things
SDDC - WebRTC - DevOps
Cloud computing is become a norm within enterprise IT.

The competition among public cloud providers is red hot, private cloud continues to grab increasing shares of IT budgets, and hybrid cloud strategies are beginning to conquer the enterprise IT world.

Big Data is driving dramatic leaps in resource requirements and capabilities, and now the Internet of Things promises an exponential leap in the size of the Internet and Worldwide Web.

The world of SDX now encompasses Software-Defined Data Centers (SDDCs) as the technology world prepares for the Zettabyte Age.

Add the key topics of WebRTC and DevOps into the mix, and you have three days of pure cloud computing that you simply cannot miss.

Delegates will leave Cloud Expo with dramatically increased understanding the entire scope of the entire cloud computing spectrum from storage to security.
